Your Contributions in Action:
The Schools Foundation works diligently with each school system to
identify their areas of greatest need: the focus is first and foremost
on improving opportunities for student achievement.
Let's take a look at a real-world example of how The Schools Foundation
can make positive change a reality.
Recently, when technology
coordinators from each system informed The Schools Foundation of the
pressing need for distance learning labs in area high schools, the
Foundation located a generous corporate partner in Toyota Motor
Corporation. With tremendous support from Toyota and other corporate
partners that joined the effort, the Foundation was able to deliver a
comprehensive, state-of-the-art Interactive Distance Learning Network
to seventeen area schools. Courses never before offered in certain area
schools will now be available through the miracle of interactive
distance learning.
Today, The Schools Foundation believes that one of the most pressing
needs of each of its constituent systems is support for technology and
professional development. Both areas are among the last to be
adequately funded in good times, and among the first to be cut in times
when money is tight.
Educating students in technology isn't simply a matter of buying more
computers. It requires keeping teachers abreast of advancements in
teaching methods critical to student achievement. The Schools
Foundation will continue to identify and support technological advances
and professional development for its teachers, both targeted toward
improving the educational "product" available to public school students
in Huntsville, Madison County and the City of Madison.
Contributions from The Schools Foundation programs are distributed on a
percentage basis to the three school systems based on average daily
enrollment for each system.

The Schools Foundation, in partnership with Huntsville Utilities,
has now provided a simple and painless way for everyone in the area
to make pocket change into a powerful mechanism to support public
education in Huntsville, Madison County and the City of Madison.
By clicking on the "Sign Up to Round Up" button and filling out a
simple form on the website, or by completing an enrollment card,
you can authorize Huntsville Utilities to round up your monthly

might be 25¢, it might be 99¢, at the most $12 per year.
Whatever it is, it's a simpler check to have to write, a nice round
amount, and that extra pocket change goes to help our schools.
